• September 16, 1841."
The Democrats , always ready to meet the Whig
champfbn, sent word to Messrs hiagtaw and Black,
of Pittsburgh, that the challenge above referred to
was in circulation, and requested them to meat it.
These two gentlemen, although they had travelled
28 miles on the day the notice was received, and were
engaged in a discussion with the whigs at home, start
ed at midnight and travelled all night and were on the
pound at Nlountpleasant two hours before the arrival
of the whig champions.
The democrats immediately sent the following ac
ceptance to the whig committee:
"Do the gentlemen composing the Committee of the
shig meeting to be held in Mountideasant this
day:
The undersigned respectfully accept the challenge
contained in the call fur your meeting, and will produce
two speakers against the like number cn the part of
the whiga. In accepting the challenge we state as
our wish, that each speech should be one hour in length.
The challenging party to open and the accepting party
to follow, and so alteruately throughout.
(Signed) SA mina. CLARY, and others
Mountpleasant, Sept. 24, 1844."
It will be seen by the handbill that the challenge
was given to the Democrats to meet and discuss at any
or all the "Mass Meetings." About 1 o'clock; the
procession with the whig prize banner, and four booted
knights. Mhos Williams, Esq., the Hon George Dare ie,
Edward Cowan, Esq., and Charles Gibbons, Esq., of
Philadelphia.) all in order arrived in town. The de
mocrats with their speakers awaited patiently for an
invitation to discuss at the Mass Meeting. What was
their amazement when the committee tendered the an
nexed note in reply.
"The call for the whig meeting to be held this day,
contains no challenge, but a declaration that we will
give our oppenents ample oppoctonity to discuss the
principles of the two parties, and an invitation to them
to attend for that purpose.
If any respectable and responsible persons belong
ing to your party, are disposed to meet an equal num
ber of responsible whigs, fur the purpose above men
tioned—we are ready for such a discussion uo tike
place this evening at six o'clock. The opening and
conclusion to be given to the same party, and to be de
termined by lot. These terms we consider entirely
fair—but if you object to them, we will meet you this
evening at 6 o'clock on your own terms.
In behalf of the whigs,
E r.RADEN.
J P HURST."
The whigs went to the ground without eves saying,
gentlemen, wont you look at us. And well knowing
that Messrs Magraw and Black had to be at New
Alexandria, 20 miles off the next morning, inserted
the contemptible preposition to meet and discuss at
six o'clock in the evening, after the Mass Meeting was
over. For their unmanly, dishonorable and cowardly
course, they offered two excuses to the gentlemen who
had ridden nearly fifty miles in the night to discuss at
their Mass Meeting. The first came from Mr Cow
an, and was, thatit would not be fair to give the dem
ncrats a chance of speaking at the "Mass Meeting"
(the very place by the way they were invited to ceme)
because nearly ail were wlaigs, and they would not
have an equal chance of making converts. The sec
• nd exe se was offered by Mr J P Hurst, one of their
committee. was rather funny than provoking, it was
that the ladies who were in attendance wished to hear
a whig &pooch. To this it was answered, that they
could bear a whig speech first, according to the terms
of the acceptance; but it was no go,the Coon skinners
could get no chance at the very Macs Meeting to which
they were invited.
The belligerent champions were a little too smart for
that, they wanted to fill the ears of the large audience
full of deception end slander, and when they had all
gone home, Mr Williams, with his friends did not feel
afraid to meet Andy Stewart's skinners beforeftfty ore
hundred people at night, although his own hide bad
not entirely healed up. He was doubtless a bold man
in this, when it was known the two speakers fur the
Democrats were compelled to leave Mountpleasant
that evening. The honest whip went home utterly
disgusted with the bluster and cowardice of the craven
and unmanly champions, notwithstanding the contem
tible conduct of the whigs, an invitation was extend.
od to any two of the four orators, to attend the Demo
cratic Mass Meeting at New Alettatxitia, when they
would be heard, though none but Democrats were ex
pected
The bluster and bsolc-out party, n hit their bold de
fenders, could not be cooed up to tho scratch.
The Cotton Crops.—A letter in the Charleston
Menem) , gives a melancholy picture of the cotton crop,
which' account is confirmed from other sources of in
formation. The Mercury says “this disastrous result
of a season that promised in the early part more richly
than any fur same years past, is nut confined to that
State, but it is true, with more or less mitigation, of
the entire cotton growing legion. The peculiarity of
the growth is that the plant attained a precocious ma
turity, and that all growth and consequently all possi
ble increase of the product is now at an end. The crop
is now nearly all gathered or ready forgathering—frost
may come early or late—it is all the same—there will
be nothing for it to kill. Favorable localities may to
a limited extent have escaped this injury, but beyond
a doubt, the disaster has been general. The Sea Island
crop is believed to be much better than the Upland, as
rate might imagine."

DEMOCRATS, BE VIGILANT
The whigs are making largo boasts of the majority
they expo--t in this county. They talk of 2,3, and
even 4,000. We know that the folly and ignorance of
that party might easily lead them to make those ridicu
lous assumptions. But still it is the opinion of many
that they base their hopes of success on some deep
laid scheme of " pipelaying" or " yarnspinning."
Once more, then, we implore our friends to be vigi
lant. At the election last year, the Democratic candi
date fur Congrets, had a majority over the whip and
Antitnasons united. Who can reasonably suppose
the party is stronger notv than they were then I And
how, under these circumstances, can they expect to
triumph, except by moans of foul voting.
We implore our friends to use redoubled vigilance
and energy in detecting and exposing the fraudulent
schemes of our opponents. It is alleged that many
persons favorable to the whigs, have had their names
put down on the Assessors' Books, and have paid their
takes, although they have" no right to vote. We do
not know how this may be, Let the Democrats,
however,
1. Examine the Assessors' lists, and see that no
wrong be done by having persons registered for
the sake of claiming votes to which they are not enti
tled.
2. Lock carefully to the ballot-boxes before the vot
i ng coin mencep
3. See that the polls be kept clear, and take every
precaution to have the election conducted in anhonest,
orderly and proper manner.
4. Examine carefully the qualifications of every man
who asks for a vote, if his right is at all questionable.
rgirWhen Markle was nominated, the Gazette sta
ted that ho was preferred to Banks and Irvin, because
he had killed an Indian and drank spice-bush le a.—
These were the prominent merits that were brought
forward at the time of his nomination, and the editor
of the Gazette considered them so important at the
time, that it italicised the qualifications of the other
aspirants, to show the great triumph that was achieved
by the massacre of an Indian, and the drinking of
spice-bnsh tea.
Deacon White now endeavors to evade the respon
sibility of having boasted that Markle's merits con
sisted in having "killed an Indian and drank spice
bush tea;" and trios to throw it upon his Harrisburgh
correspondent. This is a most pitiful evasion and will
not avail the Deacon. lf he did not write it, a person
employed by him did, and if it is a slander upon
Gen Markle's qualifications, he paid the slanderer fur
writing it. If Deacon White did not like the sentiment,
he could have drawn his pen over it. But he did
not do so; 011 the contrary, to show his admira
tion of the sentiment, he inserted it conspicuously in
his editorialcolamas. He no doubt thought it would
be a first rate electioneering humbug—a second edition
of the log cabin and hard cider foolery of 1840, and
that he would have all the glory of originating it. But
now, when it is not just as popular as ho expected,
he repudiates it and attempts to throw the responsi
bility on those in his employ. This will not do, Dea
con White, whether you did or did not write i t,we find it
in your paper and inserted in your editorial columns.
Tue ABot.triotitsys.—We publish below a letter
from the Hon Theodore Frelingbuysen, relative to the
slavery question, He "cheerfully" says he isnot an
abolitionist, and never bus been. %Veil, we are glad
to find that he is so frank about the matter. The fed-

TZILIma , 01 ?HZ Wutos.—Despite their vain a•4l
frothy boastings—•despite their confidence in the mon
mous frauds, the stupendous slanders they have put
forth against the Democratic candidates and the Dem
ocratic party---tho whigs are terror stricken. They
seethe prospect of defeat through the thin veil of
hope which tho hutnbuggers of their party have been
able to throw over their cause. This panic manifests
itself in various ways, and proceeds from various
causes. In New York the news from Maine was a
severe blow upon the whigs, and the effect of it was
to make them doubly active and vigorous. Their
efforts, however, were not made in that cheerful, hope
ful
spirit which alone can insure success. Their
every movement betrayed the consciousness that defeat
must come in spite of all they could do, and of course
they woulS not work with so heavy a load about their
hearts
In Pittsburgh, since uur great Convention. symp
toms of panic are to ho detected in every whig coun
tenance, and their cross, crabbed behavior proves how
deeply mortified and astonished they are at the grand
display of Democratic strength, made on the 19th.—
The whig leaders had been trying to convince their
followers that things were going on just as they did
in 1840, and that the whig victory' would be as sig
nal now as then. The thousands of Democrats who
poured into our city on the 19th, was evidence to the
mind of the most ignorant coon, that there was a vast
difference between the present contest and that of '4O.
They had never in their lives seen such a tremendous
gathering of Democtats; and of course they were at
once mortified and surprised. and alarmed fol. the sue
ems of their 'immoral and profane" candidate.
In Wheeling, too, judging from the whig papers,
there, the coons are in a gloomy, sad and dispirited
state. We copy from the Times, the leading whig
paper of Wheeling, the subjoined account of the ener
getic and spirited movements of the Democrats of that
region. It is plain that the editor is perfectly confound- ' 1
ed at the energetic and incessant effhrts of the Demo
crats are making. He gives us in his description of
the Democratic movements in Wheeling, a welcome
proof that the efforts the Democrats in 1840, were
weak and spiritless - compared with the glorious fight
they are making in 1844. The editor's greatest trou
ble seems to be, to know where the Democrats get th e
money to carry on the way with. That they could no
doubt satisfacturily explain, if they were disposed to'
do so. Meantime, the editor end his friends may rest
assured that the democrats will never serve those who
labor for them as the whip served Major Irtons about
the Tippecanoe dinner—nor will they go out of their
own patty to seek contributions to pay the expenses I
of the campaign. But here . is the cheering extract
from the Wheeling Times. A party that has the spirit
thetraseribed to the Democrats, will not be easily bea-
• 'lt is a well known fact, that the vote of this county
stands more than 3 Whigs to 1 Locofoco. It is also
well known, and it has been charged against us over
and over again, by the locofocoe themselves, that we
have nearly all the wealth and Wile/nee of the county,
to work with. In 1240, while the Whig party here,
spent a large amonni of money over the election, the
locofoco party spent just none at all, and they repeat
edly told us they were poor and had none to spend,
and in the early stages of this campaign we frequent.
ly heard the same complaint, but how stands the mat
te, now? Why,they tako up candidates, and, all atom e,
they have, or at least spend, any quantity of money?
We ask the reader, to name a single thing the whig
party hone, rich and inflnential as they charge it to be,
has done this campaign, no matter what the expense
involved may have been, that the locofoco party has
not also done, and quite as regardless of expensel—
We built a Pole, they erected an Arch. We made a
number of Flags, &c., they now have as many and
with perhaps one exception, quite as expensive ones
as we have. We rigged up our old Cannon, they got
a new one. We gut a new one, they got another, and
they burn more powder by one half than we can afford
to do. We procured the voluntary services of a Band
for the campaign, free of expense, they have hired
the German Band oftener than we have used ours, and
have paid them $lO every time. They got up their
Reading Room, before we did ours, and they pay more
rent for it. They have sent large delegations—in
some instances nearly all the patty—to all their adja
cent meetings, and to do this they have chartered
boats as a party, Thi paid their boat to Steubenville
more than we - did either of ours, and only on Monday
last, they offered a boat $3OO, ,to take them up to
Pittsburgh and Back, being $149 more than we gave
the Allegheny Mail. They have pent as much mon
ey over 'illuminated and torchlight processions' as we
have. Their Barbecue cost them more in proportion
than our meeting, and there is much fewer of them to
divide the expense In fact, point out any demonstra
tion the whip
party in this town has made, and it will
be found thelocofocos have always followed it up, no
matter whet the cost may have been. Now, we hap.
pen to know that the whig party here, with all its
wealth, has nearly exhausted its means in paying for '
these demonstrations—it is certain the locoripco party
has spent as much money as we have, and that it has
come to them all at once.
No one will pretetd to say they can affitrd or can
raise it better now than they could in '4o—and we ask,
who is there amongst themselves able to pay large
sums? Perhaps some 10 or 12 and no nsore. Where
then does it come from? Why, in '4O, with all the
government patronage at ccmmand, they could not
raise it—the party are no bettor off now than then,
where, then, do they get it now?"
Tut "lio.;rtascx" FORGERY.—The Democratic
press throughout the country is earnestly engaged in
showing up this übnminable attempt to drfttud
the people, and injere Gov POLK, by a scandalous
forgery. The origin of the lie is yet uncertain. The
United States Gazette says it copied from "some wes
tern paper," but has not designated the paper. The
Pittsburgh Gazette, has not produced the work of
"Koorbuck," from which it professed to quote, but
expects to escape odium by joining in the hue-and
cry against the author of the "hoax," as it terms the
story. The ehigs do get the queerest names for
things. 11Ir Cr.ay's malignant and profane remark
to Col Pout, "Go home," &c. is called by the whigs
a piece of wit, and this deliberate attempt to fasten
a revolting act of crueltyon the Democratic candidate,
and that by means of a base forgery—is called a
"hoax." The greatest "hoax" of all would be if the
whigs could make the people believe that a malicious
and criminal attempt to take away the good name of
a valuable citizen is a mere 'joke" or a piece of inno
cent amusement.
From the statements made by those who per
suaded M'Cutcheon to swear to the fasehoods first
published in his certificate, the public might infer that
ha had been solicited by the democrats,to make the affi
davit that way taken before Alderman Morrow. This
is not the facts It was a voluntary act on his part,
and we are informed that he called upon several dem.
ocrats, before be could find any who were willing
to accompany him to the Alderman's Office. He is a
whig witness, and thedemoc.rata want to have nothing
to do with such characters; their proper associates are
tunongthe whigs concocters of slanders and misrepre
sentation,
THE DROUGHT.—We have had no rain yet.. Thereis,
however, a prospect that we shall have some soon.—
Notwithstanding the riirr is .very low, nearly as low
indeed as we have ever ' , eon it, navigatioti is not sus
pended, nor has the tranaportation of goods upon our
rivers ceased, for all Mr Clay's lameta about their be
big - dried up half the jeer..
BEMS
itarlillany of the whig papetir that are now assail
ing Mr Sauna with so much rancor, spoke of him in
the most complimentary manner, before tbe death of
Mr Mut:lle:36er g . As lung as Mr Mublenberg was the
candidate, the whigs were warm is their admiration
of Mr Bhunk, and there was not one of them, but would
admit, that his qualifications and merits wore equal
to those of any other man in the State. The Gazette
spoke of him as a "poor and worthy man" and every
other whig journal in the State that reached us, endor
sed his worth and honesty, in the most unconditional
terms. But Mr Shenk wasnot a candidate when the
pious Deacon was free to admit that be was a worthy!
man, and ho did not then understand how he could
serve his fifteen masters by villifying his character.—
The aspect of things have changed however, Mr.
Shenk is now a democratic candidate, and Deacon
White and all the other whig beagles, who were wont
to he so lavish of their praise, are e.ideavoring to ex
cel each other, in heaping abuse upon him, and in
venting the most unfounded falsehoods against him.
if Mr :11uhlenberg had lived, the whigs would have
continued their praises of Mr Shunk, and even Deacon
White would be willing to quarrel with any man who
would doubt that Mr Shunk was a "worthy man. "
But the death of Mr Muhlenberg, brought Mr Shunk
oefore the people, and the tune of these hirelings sud
denly changed; they soon discovered that Mr Shunk
was one of the worst men in the State, and unworthy
the comettlence or support of the people.
EL.Y.CTION TICKETS.-Our friends can be supplied
with Democratic Tickets fur the General Election, by
calling at our uffi,:e.
THE PROSPECT IN ALLEGHENY COONTY.—As the
election approaches, the confidence of our friends 'n
. this county,tbat the result of the election will be fa
vorable and most gratifying to the democracy, seems
daily to in:rease. The whigs are making large boasts
and extensive calculations. But they are certainly the
most deceived set of men that ever made an estimate
of the result of any contest. They vainly hope that,
because they bad a large majority in 1840, they
can get it again. They seem to shut their eyes to the
fact that the Democrats are combating with energy,and
that every day now instances are found of men who vo
ted fur Harrison, but cannot go for Clay. Elms whig
leaders are self-deluded, so•ne are stating things they
don't believe,—and both classes unite in cheating the
mass of the CLAY party. From all we can learn, we
feel warranted in assuring our friends abroad, that Al
legheny will do her duty most nobly—else will do all
that can be expected of her, and much more.
The following interesting passage between two
young ones, aged apparently about 10 years, occur.
red under Albree's Shoe Store, last night.
Dick. Hen, what does that storekeeper mean,hy
hanging nut that side of isle leather over his door.
Hen. Why, don't ynu see he wants to let, his whig
friends know, that since the Maine election, their hides
are all on the fence.
Dick. No, Hen, that ain't it, he's got a Protective
Tariff in big letters, and nothing, at all about a honk;
and I guess he wants to Aide big princit Ira.
Hen. Oh. I've got it now, the old fellow, without
intending it, let's it out, that, like a good many of big
party, he don't know their principles from a side of
sole leather.
rr A Berks County popur in giving a notice of
the character of the editor of the American, has the
following paragraph:
" Biddle was once caught, says the Harrisburgh
Argus, in counterfeiting the printed wrappers of Bran
dreth's 1911 s, an act which we take to be about equal
in meanness to stealing pennies off a dead man's
eyes."
The American has fr ••quently taunted the Gazette
about its impure dealings with the fifteen whigs. and
other matters not very creditable to Lie corn coadju
tor. But the Deacon has him now, if the above be
true, and if he does not make Biddle swallow a
double allowance of Brandreth's Pills, he has more
christian charity than the public have ever given hi n
credit for.
QUESTION
Is there an arrangement between Henry Clay and
Cassius M. Clay and Daniel Webster, or is Webster
secretly and at heart hostile to the "embodiment of
whig principles." I
There scams to be something mysterious in the ope
rations of the Kentucky missionary and the Boston ora
tor. Cassius M Clay in his letter to J J Speed, a.sert
ed that Henry Clay and his neighbors and intimate
ien ls, were decidedly favorable to emancipation; but
assoc.!) as the "embodiemont" was hard pressed by
his southern friends, he pronounced Mr Cassius' state
ment false or incorrect. Cassius received this cant! a
diction at Buffalo, but still persisted in his apparent
support of Henry. He proceeds to the great meeting
at Boston where he meets the "God-like Daniel" in a
public meeting, and both make speeches and both take
the strongest ground against Texas, and seemingly in
favor of Henry Clay.
The following is an extract from Mr. Webster's
speech:
"Mr. Clay is against annexation, except it can
be afected with the common consent of the whole
country. He has said that he regards the Union as
a grand co-partnership, into which no new member
can be admitted against the will cf any one of the
general co-partners. And he holds himself bound
to oppose annexation, without that general consent.
Here is his pledge, and I stand upon it. I believe in
his honor and principle. (A voice in the crowd hers
exclaimed, "We will take him at his word.") Mr
Webster resumed. We will take him at his word, and
he dare not forfeit it."
Here Mr Webster boldly stntes that Mr Clay has,
and that he regards the Union as a co-partnership,
"into which no new member shall be admitted against
the willof any one of its members." Certainly Mr
Clay has never said as much in any published letter
or yeecht has Mr Webster or any of the Boston whip
a secret letter to that efect, or bas Mr Webster mis
represented the "embodiemnt" in order to force him
to write a fourth letter to define his position on the an
nexation question?
If the Boston whigs have a secret pledge from Mr
Cloy on the subject, it was very unwise in Mr Webster
to refer to it a public meeitng. Mr Clnyeould only
have intended such a private letter to be used in a
Masonic Lodge or in every select whir tnecting. If
Mr Webster 4 seen any such•secret letter he has
betrayed c donee by alluding to it.
Perha is, however, there is an understanding be
tween tbJ, two great Whig leaders, that in the south the
"embodiment" shall be understood to be favorable
to annexation, and in the north hostile to it. We will
soon see whetter Mr IVebster correctly represents
j r - Mr Clay's views, publiental secret.
Cassius M Clay, iu speech, condemned the an-
I.nexation scheme as infamous .The following is a
portion of his speech:
"I care not what may be the private opinhau of Mr
